Robotic Automation

NEUTEQ are experts not only in automation, but the manufacturing processes to which they are to be employed, this understanding allows us to select not only the correct equipment but also the most efficient processes, providing a full turnkey solutions using proven standard concepts.

Vision guided robot systems, Machine tending, Robotic machining and de-burring are just some of the market leading standard solutions NEUTEQ can offer, alongside large scale bespoke automation systems.

NEUTEQ offer complete solutions based on standard machines, but where the link to each customer's application is unique.

NEUTEQ's approach to affordability is using standard modules where we are able to offer solutions that are not one off experiments but proven solutions that have been developed over many years to be user friendly, efficient and reliable. Using standard modules also enables us to be competitively priced (predict accurate build times)

Flexibility as standard, designed to easily interface with new and existing CNC machines, the flexiloader is designed for easy installation with simple 'plug and play' features the cell offers flexible automation at an affordable price providing significant payback opportunities for a host of machine tending applications.

Materials Handling

Vision Guided RoboticsAdvanced vision pick and place with Simplicity at its core. Robots that can see, the components to be picked up. Standard machines that can feed virtually any components and can be easily taught by semi-skilled operators. System can be taught to recognise and pick any component in minutes.

For ultimate flexibility NEUTEQ provide standard vision cells with the ability to quickly and easily program new components making short production runs or wide variety of parts possible to automate.

The heart of the vision guided cells is the highly acclaimed SVIA vision system – Pickvision. The System provides advanced technology in user-friendly standardised machines.

Within automation, properties such as flexibility are often neglected in place of speed and precision, but you do not need to compromise. Instead, we combine precisely these attributes!

The basic principle is that components are fed towards a camera, where the vision system, Pickvision, identifies the position of the component. A robot can then pick up the component directly with high precision and feed it on, correctly positioned, to the next stage of the process.

New components can be learnt by the system in just a few minutes and with ease closely linking the robot, vision and grippers all through one system via step by step wizard software program with auto recognition and auto suggestion functions.

Miniflex

MiniFlex is intended for handling small parts up to approx 80 mm and 0.5 kg. The parts are held in a buffer and then vibrated onto the camera belt where the parts can be automatically picked using the robot, which finds the parts using the PickVision™ vision system.

MiniFlex is a compact machine that is very easy to position. The entire machine is built on a single base plate that also includes the robot, which makes it easy to move and quick to install. Like the other machines MiniFlex is very easy to manage. After three days of training the customer's own operators are able to teach the new details to be fed using the unit.
MiniFlex can handle parts with a cycle time from circa 3 seconds.

FeedLine

Feedline is a module based product for parts that lie individually on a transport conveyor, in principle there are no limits regarding size or weight to which parts can be handled in a FeedLine. It could be complicated or fragile parts placed on the belt manually, but also integration in existing production lines where the parts are already separated.

FeedLine is usually the right option when the cycle time of the process is longer (more than 20 seconds) because it is a very flexible system with a high level of automation for a low cost. The conveyor belt is loaded in a short time. It then functions as a buffer, the system then runs unattended for a long period. The belt can be loaded when the system is in operation and at any time without needing to stop the system.
The system is easy to adapt to the customer's needs, there is great scope to meet the needs of automatic solutions for grading, fettling, marking, cleaning and quality control. Feedline can be equipped with any robot where reference is made to the cycle time, what weights are to be handled and the reach required. The robot normally places the ready parts directly on the pallet and sometimes with interlayer
handling.

Multiflex

MultiFlex is intended for handling parts up to approx 200 mm and 3 kg. MultiFlex handles the parts directly from the pallet via an integrated pallet tip. The parts are first tipped into MultiFlex and then driven to the camera where they can be automatically picked using the robot, which finds the parts using the PickVision™ vision system.

Like the other SVIA machines, MultiFlex is a standard product that is easy to handle, the customer can easily teach new parts that are to be fed into the process and there are opportunities to meet the customer's needs of automatic pallet exchanging, grading, fettling, cleaning and quality control.
MultiFlex can handle parts with a cycle time from 2.5 seconds.

For the ultimate flexibility in de-burring and cutting of aluminium, composite and wood materials

Combining the cost efficiency and flexibility of robots with the ease of programming of MasterCam all in one complete standard Machine.

The principle is one machine that operates as a complete system whereby the tool path, robot and spindle are all controlled through one system via step by step wizard software program. 3D CAD models are imported into the pc based interface, with auto generation and intelligent Robot motion functions.

Providing flexibile de-burring and profiling in a proven standard solution, with quick set-up time in a CNC machine style format.

In collaboration with MasterCam flexibility and user-friendliness are put firmly at the centre.

Robotic Development CenterThis facility enables the customer to prove solutions and processes before large investments are made.

Robotics development centre with ABB 4600 robot, can be used for proving a variety of Robotic processes from grinding to polishing, deburring and Robotic 6 axis machining.

This facility enables the customer to prove solutions and processes before large investments are made.

We are also able to carry out development work for more complex processes and theories, working with the customer to achieve the required solution.

At NEUTEQ we are always happy to discuss your requirements and will work with you to find a solution that meets your specific business requirements. Call us on +44 (0)1827 313644 or click here to enquire online and we will contact you as soon as possible.
